‘GOLD RUSH 2.0’ THANKS TO CALIFORNIA’S HISTORIC SNOWPACK
Thanks to California’s record –and seemingly endless– snow, which is sending millions of gallons of water tumbling down the state’s rivers, gold fever is once again gripping the same areas it did back in the late-1840s.
Expert metal detector Mark Dayton says this year is turning into a special one for finding gold.
“It’s the pinnacle of my metal detecting career,” he said. “It’s just something I’ve never seen in my lifetime.”
“As that snow’s melting, it’s rolling down in torrents and carving new waterways as it goes. And when it does that, it brings in all that fresh new material into the waterways and just spreads it out.”
In only four days, he said he found an ounce of gold worth around $2,000 in the mountains around El Dorado County, and he’s even been able to return to sites multiple times because the water is constantly bringing down new material.
As reported by spectrumnews1.com, third-generation hardware store owner Albert Fausel said people have been coming to his Placerville store from all over the country, trying to strike it lucky.
“People are kind of getting the bug before they even get over here,” Fausel said, who has already found an ounce himself. “Every time I hop in [a stream/riverbed] I’m like here’s a whole new uncovered bedrock spot that nobody’s got to look through. Because it had 5 feet of overburden, now it’s just down bare ground and a couple of boulders.”
The biggest and best gold nuggets haven’t even been revealed yet; they will likely appear when the waters begin to recede and detectors like Dayton and Fausel can access the rivers and creeks proper.

“People are kind of getting the bug before they even get over here,” Fausel said. “They’re planning their trips, they’re kind of going should I use this money I’ve saved to get out there? Will I make enough money to get back? Should I put my employee through school or should I come out here on vacation?"
Fausel said for amateur miners to remember to read up on the rules about how much you can take and where you can mine gold.
